#AudioBookReview: Hot Chocolate on Thursday by Michiko Aoyama translated by E. Madison Shimoda My Review: This interconnected collection of short stories begins, and ends, with a young woman arriving at the cozy little Marble Cafe in Tokyo to order a hot chocolate. On Thursday. Always on Thursday, always at 3 pm. It makes a delightful little treat for her, for the cafe’s manager, and for the reader as well. Because the story in between that manager’s perspective of her and her regular visits at the beginning and her perspective at the end is every bit as round as a marble, just like the cafe’s name.
